Sophie Walker on LinkedIn: Get in touch if you are on keen to hear more about some of Lauren's roles! (2025)

Ever asked for a fabricator and recieved a cv for a production welder ? A service engineer instead of a maintenence engineer? I hear this often from clients about job roles and different niches not being understood and I think that comes from the lack of knowledge in the sector. As a recruiter, having extensive knowledge in a specific sector can truly set you apart from the competition whilst at the same time providing and excellent service to clients. Why? Because it allows you to speak the language of the industry, understand the unique challenges and opportunities within that sector, and ultimately, connect the right candidates with the right companies.As recruiters when we have a deep understanding of a specific industry, we are better equipped to identify top talent, anticipate trends, and provide valuable insights to both candidates and clients. This level of expertise not only builds trust and credibility but also ensures a more successful and efficient recruitment process.#Recruitment #IndustryKnowledge #Engineering #manufacturing

Artisans can not assume the roles of ProfessionalsI found it awkward the debate of comparing Artisans with Professionals why?

I passed through all these levels and I know what is obtainable in each of the cadre.There was a site I was given it supervision job, earlier before I resume to the site they've started the excavation, I requested for drawing and made a visitation to the site. As at then Structural Drawings is not eady while the bricklayer have started digging the column base, when I got to the site I asked him what is the column base size, 18x18inch (450x450mm), I queried why? He said since the column is 9x9 (225 by 225mm), I told him to stop work and awaits the release of Structural Drawings before we continue on that site.................................................................Read up in the comment section.

Many manufacturing and industrial jobs have a title that makes it clear what the job entails - for example, you know from the name that a “machinist” works with machines. But then there’s “millwright.” If you haven’t worked this job before, it can be difficult to know exactly what the job entails. In this article, we’ll explore what exactly a millwright is and who is best suited for this job.https://hubs.la/Q02Bq6-c0
